- [00:00:08.120]Go NAPSACC encourages early childhood professionals
- [00:00:10.488]to teach yoga to children in their care
- [00:00:13.430]because adults have been using yoga
- [00:00:14.980]for a long time with a range of positive results
- [00:00:18.062]from reduced anxiety and improved coordination and balance.
- [00:00:22.550]What's exciting is that by using child friendly yoga poses
- [00:00:25.543]and activities children experience many
- [00:00:27.995]of these benefits too.
- [00:00:30.450]So we included yoga poses and mindful body movements
- [00:00:33.221]in the Go NAPSACC training as a way
- [00:00:35.354]to promote children's wellbeing
- [00:00:36.862]and build strong bodies and minds.
- [00:00:39.830]Some of the benefits of yoga for children
- [00:00:41.395]include improved attention and concentration,
- [00:00:45.060]promoting inclusivity, enhancing confidence,
- [00:00:48.662]improving balance and coordination,
- [00:00:51.449]helping children manage stress
- [00:00:53.173]by practicing mindful breathing,
- [00:00:55.420]and promoting children being more comfortable
- [00:00:57.892]with their bodies.
- [00:00:59.165](light instrumental music)
- [00:01:04.490]We chose the Yoga Now! card set because they're easy to use
- [00:01:07.900]and were created by an expert mindfulness and yoga educator.
- [00:01:11.422]The card set uses child friendly yoga poses along
- [00:01:14.267]with fun movement songs
- [00:01:15.828]to make playing yoga fun and engaging.
- [00:01:18.997]You can be creative and create a yoga sequence
- [00:01:21.153]with the cards or have the children lead and choose them.
- [00:01:25.033]Our hope is that using these yoga poses will
- [00:01:27.900]be simple to implement in your program
- [00:01:29.623]and be an effective way to model healthy habits early.
